Chapter: 878
“What the fuck is that... this is what they were experimenting on?�
Multiple pulsing roots came through various cracks, tunnels and holes in the wall to combine, twist and merge with something that Jay didn’t quite understand.
It was hard to tell if it was flesh or plant, but in the centre of the nest was a gigantic head; same shape as a human head, but giant, with shades of brown and green.
However, the shape was where the similarities ended. Its skull was not solid, and it pumped up and down like a beating heart.
Some roots carried nutrients away from it, but most carried them towards it.
Its mouth was closed, but it fixed its eyes on one of the few sources of light in the pit: a shimmering portal, crackling with chaotic energies around the outside.
A single root came through the portal, and it carried something different to all the other green fluid, as its surface had a light milky hue to it, being pumped into the giant plant-flesh head.
“So there’s a damn portal?� Jay shook his head. He had not seen portals before, but it was similar enough to the dungeon entrances, which were their own kind of portal.
“Hopefully, if I kill that damn thing, this whole dungeon will end.�
[Your skeleton has been slain.]
“Shit... Blue and Sweeper are losing.� he pursed his lips, “I better get down there and kill this thing before the knights come swarming through here.�
Looking into the pit, there was a passage at the back of it, along with a passage on the other side of the circular balcony.
A fiendish smile appeared on Jay’s face, “Perhaps... we can score some massive damage if we sneak attack it.� He thought as he began to slowly creep around the balcony.
All this time, the giant head had either not noticed him and his skeletons, or simply didn’t care. Its eyes remained fixed on the portal where the root containing a milky-white fluid came from.
Jay and the skeletons moved around the circular platform and went through the passage at the back of the observation deck. It led into another laboratory-type room.
The room had various machinery along with various tools designed to extract plant samples, but Jay ignored it all and continued down a set of stairs at the very back of the room.
[Your skeleton has been slain.]
The last skeleton fell at the T-intersection in the gate room.
"That's Blue and Sweeper both down. The knights will push through the wall of bones, escaping to warn their army. Not much time."
Jay sent Lamp downstairs to scout while he created a pile of bones and summoned all of his skeletons, excluding Heavy and Dark, who are still outside of the dungeon.
Yet Jay couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied with Blue's performance and its decision to not keep Lamp.
"Blue didn't really do a good job up there… it could have lasted longer with Lamp, but only kept Sweeper with it. They barely killed any knights at all. Something must have happened." He thought.
As the skeletons formed, Lamp came back up the stairs, which was surprising as it had not been scouting for even one minute.
Jay raised a brow. "Everything ok Lamp?"
